HOLDER FOR ARTBCLES Wl-HLE BEING HEATED.

BPZECIPICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent Isle. 309fl02, datedDecember 16, 1884-.

Application (11rd February 23, IP84.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL FREDERICK Osca'n Nonnnv, a subject of the Kingof Sweden, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York,have invented certain improvements in Holders for Articles while beingHeated, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a device for holding articles to be heated-csshoemakers polishing-irons, for exampleover a burner. It is primarilydesigned for use in connection with gas-jets, and it comprises a meansfor securing a holder shelf or platform to its stem, whereby it may bereadily detached, and a peculiarlyconstructed clamp for securing thestem to the gas bracket or pipe. The stem is also adapted to be screwedinto a bench or table when a lamp is used for heating.

In the drawings which serve to illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is aside elevation of my holder and its clamp shown as secured to agas-bracket. Fig. 2 is aplan of the same. Fig. 3 is a rear or edge viewof the clamp. Fig. 4 is a front view of the upper end olthc stem,showing the tapered dovetail for attaching the platform. Fig. 5illustrates the conslruction of the clamp, being a face view and across-section of one-half of the same. Fig. 6 illustrates the use of myholder with a lamp for heating.

ei'erring to Figs. 1 to 5, A represents a gas bracket or pipe, and 1-3 aburner-ti p on same. U is the stem of the holder, and .l) is theplatform. This form of platform or shell? is designed especially to holdshoemakers polishing-irons. At its upper end the stem (1 is providedwith a beveled or tapered dove tail, (1., which is arranged to engage acorresponding dovetail. recess at b in the edge oil). The dovetail a isinserted in the recess 1) from below, and when the platform is presseddown the taper of the dovetail causes it to lit snugly and hold theplatform firmly. Platforms of different shapes and sizes may be used andone may be readily substituted for the other without removing the stemfrom the clamp. The clamp E is composed of two like disks, 0 c, whichhave raised flanges d. The disks are connected and the clamping effectedby an (No model.)

axial thumb-screw, c, which passes through one disk and screws onto theother. Each disk has two oppositely-arranged V-shaped recesses, g, inits raised rim. In the recesses or notches g in one disk rests the gaspipe or bracket A, and in the recesses in the other disk rests the stem0. By means of the screw 0 the disks are caused to clamp the stem andpipe together and hold them firmly. The stem and pipe do not cross thedisks diametrically, as room must be left for the screw. The position ofthe clamping notches is clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 5. It will be seenthat the stem 0 may be set at any angle with the gas-pipe that may bedesired, and the stem may also be turned on its axis so as to bringeither end of the platform over the gasjet. Vhere it is not convenientto use a gas-jet, the stem 0 may be screwed into a bench or board and alamp be arranged under the platform, as illustrated in Fig. (3. Toeffect this the end of the stem is or may be provided with a screw, it.If the stem is not made of the proper metal for a screw, the screw 72-may be cast in it. It may in some cases be out directly on the stem,however. I

My clamp 10 may be employed for securing the stem or the holder to thegas-pipe when the stem is not made detachable from the platform, and Icontemplate usin g it with holders of this character.

The stem C may be of any length, and the parts may be made of anysuitable material. The gaspipe A may pass through the clamp below thescrew 0 or above it. In Figs. 1 and 3 it is shown as passing above thescrew.

I am aware that a bracket for supporting an article to be heated hasbeen secured removably to a vertical wall by means of a keyhole in theljn'acketplate, arranged to engage a headed pin or tack driven in thewall; and I am also aware that a reflector has been provided with atongue to engage keepers in a fixed part, to form a securing device forsaid reflector. These constructions I do not claim, as they are very oldand have been applied in numerous ways. My construction differsmaterially from these. I employatapered dovetail recess in the platform,and a tapered dovetail on the holder, which wedges tightly 100 claim-1.. In a holder for the purposes described, the combination of theplatform D, provided with a tapered dovetail recess at b, and the stem0, provided with a tapered dovetail a to fit the recess in the platform,and means, substantially as described, for securing the stern in itsproper position with respect to the burner, substantially as set forth.

2. In a holder for the purposes described, the combination, with thestem and platform, ofthe clamp E, for securing the stem of the holder toa gas-pipe, constructed substantially as'herein set forth.

3. In a holder for the purposes described,

the combination of the platform provided with a tapered dovetail recess,the stem provided with a tapered dovetail to fit and wedge into saidrecess in the platform, and the clamp, constructed substantially asdescribed, for securing the stem in position with respect to the burner,as set forth.

4. The combination, with the clamp E, of the platform D, provided withatapered dovetail recess, and the'steni 0, provided with a tapereddovetail-constructed to fit and wedge into said recess, and with ascrew, h, whereby the stern may, if desired, be screwed into a bench orboard, as set forth. Y

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
